05 2.9 CRD Poor Performance. - Neilyboy
My cousin has a Sedona 2.9 CRD (diesel) auto 2005, he says its really sluggish and uses too much fuel, ive suggested using Millers Diesel power (which I use,) he thinks it may be a software problem.

Any ideas you guys?, be very grateful.

KIA SEDONA CRD AUTO 2005 - Happy Blue!
Is this a sudden problem, or has he just bought the car?

It is a big, heavy car with a big heavy and not especially advanced engine and a slushbox automatic. We had a Hyundai Trajet CRTD Auto that managed to get about 26mpg on average with 32mpg on a run at best. And that was a more advanced engine with only 2.0 litres. M-i-L has the new Sedona with diesel and auto and it is in the highest tax bracket I think.

So probably nothing he can do unless it is a sudden problem that has an obvious cause.
